I KNOW YOU ARE DYING to get your body in the mix, to put your feets where ya heart is, and here is the chance. There will be a Oaxaca solidarity march in LA, 22 de Deciembre. Look below the cut for more info, and if you want to download and print out a pdf poster (Spanish) announcing la marcha, click the image below.

If I had the funds, I would take the trip in a split second. If Christmas changes the situation unexpectedly, believe me—I'm catching a bus. Because it is really bothering me that I can't. This is exactly the thing I was looking for. Yet another one of the reasons I am working my way south from here.

If you go, my spirit goes with you. Let's show the world how important to us this is.

Odilia Romer writes: The repression in Oaxaca is becoming a genocide. The Federal Police are hunting down teachers, social justice groups and leaders, students and everyone who opposes the brutal regime of Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. We want to join our voices to the many that will be protesting against the repression in Oaxaca.

The Unapologetic Mexican has been known to scribble a few things besides meandering, verbose, self-congratulatory blog posts. However, they are rarely as fun. Finally, let it be known that Nezua first dared bust out this Habanero of Truth at exactly 5:55 PM.
